Song Wei did not stay in the Song Mansion for too long and returned home. Before leaving, her sister-in-law took her aside and talked to her about many private matters. She also asked Song Wei to explain to Rong Qing so as not to damage the friendship between the two mansions.
After Song Wei returned home, she went directly to Rong Qing's courtyard. When she learned that both of them had been granted marriage, Rong Qing was extremely surprised and whispered to Song Wei, "Sister-in-law, how could the emperor randomly match couples?"
"Xu, sister-in-law, don't say that. We'll know what happened when Siqing comes back later." Song Wei understood Rong Qing's feeling of loss. It was just that the incident happened too suddenly and she hadn't reacted yet.
Song Wei counseled, "Princess Mingyue is also a good child, and she is also good friends with our Shu'er. Although the Zhenshan King is a little unreliable, the Zhenshan Palace is headed by the princess, and I am good friends with the princess, so you can rest assured."
"Sister-in-law, it's not that I don't like Princess Mingyue, it's just that things happened too suddenly, and I haven't recovered yet." Rong Qing really didn't react, it wasn't that he didn't like Jun Mingyue.
"Madam, Second Madam, Fifth Miss is here." The two sisters-in-law were talking in private when the servant saw Murong Shu walking into the yard and hurriedly reminded them.
"I don't know where this child has gone again?" Song Wei then remembered that she hadn't seen her daughter since the person who brought the good news left.
"Maybe she was curious about the results and went out to watch the fun." Rong Qing knew that his little niece loved fun, and this age was the time for her to be happy.
"Mother, Second Aunt, Shu'er is back. Shu'er would like to congratulate Second Aunt first." Murong Shu congratulated Rong Qing as soon as he entered the room.
"Shu'er is back. Are you tired? Nanny, bring a glass of warm water to the fifth lady." Rong Qing was worried that his little niece was tired outside, so he quickly told the nanny to pour water for Murong Shu.
Murong Shu carefully noticed that there was a hint of sadness between Second Aunt's brows, and asked, "Second Aunt, are you unhappy?"
Rong Qing was not a shy person and had nothing to hide from his niece, so he expressed his concerns.
After hearing this, Murong Shu said in surprise, "Second Aunt, you misunderstood. I just came back from the palace. It was my second brother who asked to marry the princess. The person he likes is the princess, not Yanran. It is Yanran that Mr. Han likes."
"What did you say?" This time it was Song Wei and Rong Qing's turn to be surprised.
Murong Shu told Song Wei and Rong Qing everything that happened in the palace. The two never dreamed that things would turn out like this, and they almost got matched up with the wrong person.
"What about your second brother?" Rong Qing asked a little nervously.
"When I came back, I was reminiscing about the past with the princess, so I might not be able to come back so soon." Murong Shu was not exaggerating. Judging from the way his second brother was in love, he probably wouldn't come back until dark.
"This child didn't even bother to send someone back to tell us when such a big thing happened, making us at home anxious." Rong Qing finally felt relieved after listening to his niece's description.
She always thought that her son and Yanran were truly in love, but she didn't expect things to take such a turn.
"Second aunt, second brother might be too excited and forgot for a moment. Please don't blame him." Murong Shu shook Rong Qing's arm and pleaded with Mu Siqing in a coquettish manner.
"Since Shu'er pleaded for him, Second Aunt will let him go first." Rong Qing is in an extremely relaxed mood now. He is very happy that his son and Yanran can both find their own happiness.
"Aunt, didn't your uncle send anyone back to tell you?" Murong Shu thought that your uncle should have sent someone back to tell you.
"Your second uncle also knows?" Rong Qing didn't expect that her husband also knew.
"Second uncle watched the whole thing. I think he wanted the emperor to make second brother kneel for a while longer. It's better for his future father-in-law, the King of Zhenshan, to know how to care for second brother."
Murong Shu was speechless when he thought about his second uncle who was just watching the fun without thinking it was a big deal. Even his own son was gossipy.
"Your second uncle is really getting more and more outrageous. If he doesn't give me an explanation when we return home tonight, I'll show you how I'm going to deal with him." Rong Qing was getting angrier and angrier the more he thought about it.
"Aunt, you can't tell Uncle that it was me who said that." Murong Shu was not afraid of being punished by his uncle, but he was afraid that his uncle would cry to him. That would be too scary.
"Child, your second uncle loves you so much, but you actually told him off secretly. Be careful or your second uncle will punish you." Song Wei reached out and touched her daughter's forehead. Although she was accusing him, her eyes were full of doting.
Zhuangyuan Lane.
Mrs. Han knew that the results would be announced today, so she asked for a day off from the shop. Instead of waiting for her son to come home, she received the imperial decree granting marriage.
Upon hearing that her future daughter-in-law was Song Yanran, Madam Han was overjoyed and stuffed a big red envelope into the hands of the person who came to announce the decree.
After the person who announced the decree left, everyone in the alley knew that Madam Han's son had passed the imperial examination and become the top scorer. The ladies who were on good terms with Madam Han all came to congratulate her, and the courtyard became extremely lively.
Since Han's father passed away, Mrs. Han has never been as happy as she is today.
After returning from the palace, Han Xu brought Song Yanran to Zhuangyuan Lane. When Mrs. Han saw that her son and Song Yanran came back together, she was very happy and held Song Yanran's hand affectionately.
"Yanran, auntie is very happy. Auntie is not good at talking. From now on, you are my biological daughter. From now on, this family will listen to you."
When Song Yanran heard what Han Niangzi said, her face instantly turned red. Han Xu saw that Song Yanran was shy, so he said to Han Niangzi, "Mom, I'm hungry."
Mrs. Han felt that her son was a little busy today and didn't see that she was happily chatting with her daughter-in-law. But she couldn't bear to see her son go hungry, so she had to go get him something to eat.
"I will listen to Yan'er in the future." Han Xu looked at Rong Yanran lovingly and promised, and Song Yanran's face turned even redder.
To celebrate Han Xu's success in getting the top score in high school, Mrs. Han cooked a large table of dishes herself and invited Song Yanran to have dinner with them. The three of them happily had a meal together.
At the Zhenshan Palace, it was almost dark, and Jun Mingyue had not returned yet. Zhenshan King was getting a little impatient, and ordered his servants, "Go and see if the princess has returned."
"Your Highness, Mingyue finally got together with Siqing, so it's normal for her to come back late."
The princess had already learned about the incident from her husband. However, the truth that the princess knew was somewhat different from the actual situation. In short, the emperor had randomly arranged the marriage, and it had nothing to do with the king of Zhenshan.
"Hehe, I just wanted to see my son-in-law. I don't know if he was hurt by the royal brother's punishment of kneeling. Although that Mousse is not very reliable, this second young master follows the second lady and is a good child."
"Your Majesty, we will be relatives from now on, you can't say that about Master Mu again."
"I won't tell anyone else. It's just the two of us." King Zhenshan said a little guiltily.
"Okay, let's have dinner first. Mingyue should be eating outside with the second young master." Pregnant women tend to get hungry easily. Ning Ran felt that her daughter would not come back so soon. In the world, eating is the most important thing.
